## Data sources

- ECB daily reference rates via Frankfurter — 18 major currencies, one fix per business day around 16:00 CET.
- FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis) — Treasury constant-maturity yields, end of day.
- U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data "Debt to the Penny" — federal debt outstanding, published T+1 business day.

## Methodology (citable)

- DXY is recomputed, not licensed: 50.14348112 × EURUSD^−0.576 × USDJPY^0.136 × GBPUSD^−0.119 ×
  USDCAD^0.091 × USDSEK^0.042 × USDCHF^0.036. Weights: EUR 57.6%, JPY 13.6%, GBP 11.9%,
  CAD 9.1%, SEK 4.2%, CHF 3.6%. The index contains no renminbi weight.
- Sector flows are estimates: net flow = CLV × volume × close, where
  CLV = ((close − low) − (high − close)) / (high − low). Not official ETF creation/redemption data.
- Treasury changes are quoted in basis points (1bp = 0.01pp); the 2s10s spread is 10Y minus 2Y.
- Federal debt is split into publicly held and intragovernmental holdings.
